    Aromasin question

    So for my second cycle I opted for Aromasin instead of Nolva as an estrogen blocker. It says in its profile that yes it lowers estrogen but it also can cause androgenic sides since it also raises testosterone .

    Aren't these the sides I'm trying to avoid and the reason why I'm taking it in the first place? This seems contradictory to me can someone explain this?

    ok I get ya.... So what should the doses be. I had figured cutting them up into quaters making it 6.25 ED instead of 12.5 EOD since it only has a half like of 27 hours. But I'm seeing some people on here going as high as 20mg ED

    Keep in mind that Nolva and Stane aren't interchangeable in that the former is a SERM, the latter an AI. That's not to say they don't each have their place, but I wanted to make that distinction known.

    I think Aromasin is fine, it's what i'm currently using as well. I used Arimidex with my last cycle and had no problems. I did use Nolva for PCT however, and will be doing so again this time.

    I can give you the short answer here, but honestly you'd be alot better off doing some reading on both, specifically how SERMS behave vs. AI's. They deal with estrogen in completely different ways, and knowing those differences will prove beneficial for you on future cycles.
